Comments Question: Who is YOUR most intriguing newsmaker of the week in sports?

-- D.S.

Bonus name: Gilbert Arenas, my favorite NBA player (yes, even more than Jordan Farmar). Read this profile, then try to argue that Arenas shouldn't be the most popular player in the NBA. How can you NOT love him?

My favorite thing about Agent Zero has to be his method of everytime he gets a new cell phone he immediately turns it off - calls himself and leaves himself so many messages that his mailbox is full so that nobody can call him and leave him messages. BRILLIANT!

I nominate the University of Wisconsin Marching Band for excessive Badger-ing.

This is my favorite quote from the story:The school said the band's behavior was so notorious that the athletic department sets aside money so that cheerleaders and the dance squad can travel in separate buses to avoid harassment.

Most intriguing: The Kandi-man! Yes, he's back, and apparently playing with a passion and fire not seen since he last needed to actually work for a paycheck. Kandi attributes his resurgance to "being healthy." Bulllllllllshhiiiiiittttt.

... not at all the #1 story, but interesting none the less. Didn't expect him to be working another job that fast. Either that Cubs debacle took no toll on him... or he's already gotten tired of being around the Wifey at home. lol The man didn't even take a break!
